\u201cWe are so excited to receive notification of the CCNE Board of Commissioners’ decision,\u201d said Vicki Bingham, dean of DSU\u2019s School of Nursing. \u201cThe faculty and staff of the Robert E. Smith School of Nursing work diligently to provide our students with the knowledge and competencies needed to deliver safe, competent care.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bingham said receiving continued accreditation from CCNE affirms the quality of the nursing programs offered at DSU.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile an accreditation review is stressful, it is extremely important to ensure that the School of Nursing is maintaining quality nursing programs to meet the healthcare needs of the populations,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The CCNE is the nation\u2019s leading autonomous accrediting agency for baccalaureate, graduate, and residency programs in nursing. It is officially recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education as a national accreditation agency that contributes to the improvement of the public\u2019s health by assessing and identifying programs that engage in effective educational practices.<\/p>\n
In addition to ensuring that nursing programs adequately prepare individuals for professional practice, the CCNE encourages ongoing self-assessment, and supports continuing growth and improvement of the programs through planning and resource development, peer review, enhanced teaching and learning assessment, and other means.<\/p>\n
DSU\u2019s Robert E. Smith School of Nursing numerous degree offerings regularly rank high nationwide for quality, affordability, and efficiency.<\/p>\n
